09:25:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:25:25 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:25:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:25:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:25:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:25:26 User actions detected.
09:25:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:25:26 Dome is MaxDome
09:25:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:25:26 Imager is ASCOM
09:25:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:25:26 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240629@092447 UTC
09:25:26 Imager readout modes:
09:25:26   0 is Fast
09:25:26   1 is Normal
09:25:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:25:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:25:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:25:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:25:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:25:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:25:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:25:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:25:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
